Bretons/stripey tops

After a couple of years of avoiding these like the plague as they reminded me of constant bf/pregnancy - I've decided I'd like a couple.

I'd like one thats boxier to wear on its own and one thats clingier for under jumpers/jackets.

Both ideally white with a thin navy stripe. I've seen one on boden but generally their tops don't suit me.

Has anyone seen any lovely ones on their travels?

Oh and not h&m their boatnecks ruckle up at the front on me.

Armour lux, and some at H&M aren't at all bad. Go for thicker fabric not the regular tee thinness.

Boxy but stripe too thick?

Zara do those linen t shirts with a navy stripe.

Was going to say Whistles, I bought one in a charity shop years ago that has been a staple for years. Last year bought a new one from them and equally good!

I found a fab Audrey Hepburn one in the Topshop sale last week - black with cream stripes, boxy, boat neck. Thick quality cotton too - a snip at £14.
